Since my renewed interest in cooking, I have been interested in learning to cook a few things. One of recipe I wished to try was making a frittata. It seemed similar to a making a quiche, which my children like and so I thought I was onto a sure thing. Alas, my son walked into the kitchen when I was at the spinach stage and he declared he did not have any love for spinach and would therefore not eat it. He then walked in again I was at the cherry tomato process and said he does not like cooked tomato. Woe was me. I had already lost before it was cooked and yes indeed neither one of my little ones touched it. I was left alone to eat it as the love of my life was away and food should not go to waste, no, no. So I had it for lunch and dinner for several days.
I personally enjoyed it and I thought it looked rather pretty. It was easy, quick, such a time saver. It consist of protein and vegies and my tummy was thankful for this. It does not seem to particularly like carbs anymore.
The ingredients
1 bunch of spinach leaves, chopped up
100 grams of ham, chopped
250 grams of cherry tomatoes, halved
Frittata mix
6 eggs
2 cloves of garlic crushed
1/2 cups cream
1/3 grated parmesan cheese

Whisk all the ingredients together in a bowl for the frittata mix and pour the mix over the spinach and the ham.
